Which again makes me wonder why he was brought in to begin with

To be honest, I’ve been sort of wondering if they brought Facilier in when they didn’t yet have confirmation that this season would be the end. If they thought there was a chance for a S8 (and to be fair, it was a teeter-totter bubble show right up until the moment ABC cancelled it) then they’d have to lay some groundwork early on. Gothel and this whole plot with her would eat up S7 with hints of Regina/Facilier sprinkled in but never given any weight because that would be explored in a potential S8. But as soon as ABC gave them the news, it became more about wrapping up the entire series than devoting it to set up S8. So Facilier and Facilier/Regina got the very short end of the stick and go unexplored and explained.

ETA: I’m also not 100% sure if Facilier is in anything beyond 720. He might be (and I’ve forgotten because they filmed a lot away from us) but I don’t recall him being around for the filming of the final two episode. Also based on what we do know from people who have sources somewhat on the inside…it still leads me to believe he’s not there for 21-22.
